Today is the day we take our daughter back to the city where she will fly away for another semester of teaching. There is always a tinge of sadness in the process and a hole in our lives. Gladness, however, soon covers the space as we enjoy the fact that she is involved in such a job with such worthwhile effects. Her life has enlarged our own vision, our own world, and just as the business world is starkly aware, even to those on the other side of the world, we are next door neighbors, impacting each other.
To children who grow up into adulthood and take wings, who sprout into individuals who can contribute and serve others, we lift our smiling faces even as a small tear slithers down our cheeks.

She has an opportunity so rare and one that will impact her life (and yours) forever.
